Another Spectacular Day

We rode the mountain bike type trails in Deer Grove Forest Preserve today (we walked them last week) and it was the best biking yet. The fall colors, of course, made everything gloriously alive with golden yellows and oranges and reds. The trails were just enough up and down hills to make it great fun.



We rode about 7 miles and came to a section where there were lots and lots of interesting looking plants, so I stopped and took a number of shots to show these intricate plants:








Chuck was apparently not enthused with this particular part of the trip! I didn't see this expression when I took the picture; he must have gotten it in after the click and before the shot, pretty crafty, that little boy of mine!

We continued on for another 5 miles on one track trails through the preserve back to the car, all in all a terrific day. I thought this was the best riding and challenge so far!
